For a third time in a row, Donald Trump grew his support among Latinos in Miami-Dade, becoming the first GOP presidential candidate in over three decades to win a Hispanic-majority county that was once solidly blue.
While Trump failed to win an outright majority of Hispanics nationwide, according to exit polls, he undoubtedly made meaningful inroads among Hispanic voters - especially men - underscoring a shift in an electorate that Democrats once saw as an increasingly reliable bloc for their party.
The overwhelming numbers we've seen among Hispanic and Latino Americans, not just in Florida, but nationwide - it's a sign that his message is resonating and the Republican message is resonating, said Republican state Rep. Juan Carlos Porras.
But Tuesday's results reflect a political realignment among a broad swath of Hispanics who have previously voted overwhelmingly for Democrats, indicating a significant change in voting patterns.
